How to add bank details in Lappa Invoice

Why is this necessary?
Bank account information is required for generating PEPPOL documents — it gets embedded in the payment/banking section of the invoice.

Where to find it

Open Settings in the left menu
Go to the Bank details tab

How to add a bank account

On the Bank details tab, click Add bank account.
In the Add banking info modal:

select Currency
in Currency details, choose Local or Global
fill in the fields (they depend on the currency and the selected type)
click Submit

What saved bank details look like

Once submitted, the account entry appears as a card under Settings → Bank details.
Each card displays the following information:

Bank name and currency (e.g., Deutsche Bank AG (EUR))
Account name (optional label)
Account holder
Masked IBAN / Account number (partially hidden for security)
BIC / SWIFT (if provided/required)
A badge for Local or Global

If an account is marked as Set as default, a “Default” badge will be shown on its card — indicating that this account takes priority when bank details are selected for PEPPOL document generation.

Automatic application of bank details to documents

When documents are pulled in from integrations, the system populates bank details automatically by following these steps:

The system takes the invoice currency and looks up bank details for that currency
Then it selects which set to use:

if the buyer’s country and the seller company’s country match → Local details are used
if they don’t match → Global details are used

Important: paid invoices

For paid invoices, bank details are not sent to PEPPOL.
